Is it better to be skillful, lucky or just blissfully insane???B This crazy
bastard is all 3.
Turn the sound up---the Ferrari's engine sounds fantastic!
On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a
gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a
professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart ofB
Paris early in the morning . The film was limited for technical reasons to 10
minutes; the course was from PorteB Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the
Basilica of Sacre Coeur. B No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to
obtain a permit. B The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes,
reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running
real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up
real one-way streets. B Upon showing the film in public for the first time,
Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and
the film went underground.B If you haven ' t seen this before it is a
classic, if you have seen it I apologize, but it ' s still a classic.B Turn on
your sound and enjoy...
